Admission Requirements

Description

In this course we provide students that have an experimental interest,, with an overview of topics that are of interest in current condensed matter physics research. The course puts an emphasis on the research performed in the condensed matter groups in the Leiden institute of physics.

Course objectives

The student is able to recognize a system that is described by single electron physics.
The student is able to explain how a correlated electron system is different .
The student has studied an example of frontier research in condensed matter, and summarized it.
After this course the student is able to apply the methods of this course to examples that illustrate the many-particle physics that is being studied in condensed matter physics today.
